282 Two-headed monsters
The Jianghu guest had already traveled far away, and there was night and terrain cover, and after searching around the neighborhood, the Zhengyang faction found nothing.
There was no demon beast, and the only surviving Jianghu guest was gone, and the Zhengyang faction came in a hurry, but they ran empty, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed.
Just as several people were discussing whether to go back to the city first or wait in the Gobi Desert, another arrow rose into the air in the distance.
When the five of them saw it, they hurriedly rushed there. However, with the lesson just now, the five of them did not dare to go in a grand manner, so they all restrained their breath, and the sword walked close to the ground, taking advantage of the complex terrain to hide their figures as much as possible.
Still, by the time they got there, the beast had already fled, leaving only two torn corpses.
"Damn, let this beast run away again!" the slightly chubby Senior Brother Pang couldn't help but scold. The few people next to him also didn't look very good-looking.
The sword-eyed senior sister Lin was silently wandering around, and soon saw the three horse corpses that fell to the ground not far away.
There are three horses and only two people, which is obviously not right.
After Senior Sister Lin frowned, she checked her surroundings again, but did not find the third person.
At this time, the man in ink saw that she had been wandering around, so he followed. After getting closer, he asked, "What did Senior Sister Lin find?"
Senior Sister Lin pointed out the three horse corpses to him and said, "There is one person missing." ”
When the man in ink saw it, he immediately sensed that something was wrong, and after frowning, he was about to call someone to search the vicinity again.
At this moment, another arrow rose into the air in the distance.
"Damn, come again!" Not far away, after the fat brother Pang scolded angrily, the other two immediately set off with the sword and rushed to the direction of the arrow.
When the man in ink and Senior Sister Lin saw it, they had to quickly follow.
This time, the location where the arrow lifted off was not far away. It didn't take much effort for the five of them to get to that vicinity one after another. The arrows were still burning in mid-air, and in the dim light, it was faintly visible that there were no corpses on the ground covered with gravel and coarse sand, as in the previous two times, only a pool of blood.
As for the demon beast, it is still nowhere to be seen.
The fat senior brother Pang was full of irritability, wrinkled his brows, and said to the man in ink, "Why do I think that beast is deliberately sneaking us to play?"
The man in ink had a gloomy face, staring at the bloodstains and did not speak.
At this time, Senior Sister Lin, who was checking nearby as soon as she landed, came over and said, "There are no horses nearby!" Considering that this place is not far from the place just now, this bloodstain is likely to be the person from before. ”
"What was the person before?" the fat man didn't know about the three horses before, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
The man in ink told Senior Sister Lin about the discovery of the three horses before. And Senior Sister Lin took a closer look at the bloodstains near the stall while he was explaining. Sure enough, she soon noticed that there were blood stains on the ground spreading in a certain direction.
"He's going in this direction!" Senior Sister Lin pointed in a certain direction in the dark, then turned her head and asked the man in ink behind her, "Are you chasing?"
When the voice fell, Senior Brother Pang, the fat man, replied first: "Chase! Why don't you chase! Catch up with that beast and see how Lao Tzu kills him!" Seeing his gritted teeth, he couldn't wait to break the demon beast into pieces.
After the man in ink glanced at him with a slight dissatisfaction, he nodded at Senior Sister Lin.
The five of them quickly chased after the blood on the ground.
Not long after, a large area of stone suddenly appeared on the originally flat ground. These stones, each more than a man tall, stand irregularly on the ground, and there is no end in sight as far as the eye can see.
Senior Sister Lin looked at the blood stains on the ground, and she had indeed entered this stone forest.
The fat senior brother Pang didn't think about it, he was about to rush inside, but was caught by the man in ink: "Ziqi, you wait!"
"What are you waiting for, wait for that beast to run away again!" Pang Fat Man retorted, and was about to break free from the man in ink. At this moment, a roar suddenly came from the depths of the stone forest.
"It's that beast!" Pang Fat shouted, then swept away the hand of the man in ink on his arm, pulled his leg and rushed into the stone forest.
Seeing this, the man in ink had no choice but to follow in.
The other men and women also followed, but Senior Sister Lin stood outside the stone forest and hesitated. However, she only hesitated for a moment, and when she saw that the figures in front of her were about to run away, she finally followed.
Not long after the five of them left, two more appeared outside the stone forest.
"This stone forest, do you see anything?" Lin Yixian squinted his eyes and looked at this endless stone forest, then turned his head and asked Shen Muzhi on the side.
Shen Muzhi hesitated slightly, and replied uncertainly: "It's like a natural maze." ”
When Lin Yixian heard this, he looked back at the stone forest in front of him and said, "If it's just a natural maze, there's no problem. I'm afraid, someone here has done something wrong!" As he spoke, he sighed slightly: "This demon beast killed people all the way, deliberately gave people a chance to release arrows, and just now deliberately left blood stains on the road, leading people all the way to this stone forest, I am afraid that those few people from the Zhengyang Sect will be in danger!" As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Muzhi, wanting to see a slight change in expression on his face. It's a pity that although the mask is exquisitely made, it is always a little worse than the expression of expression.
Shen Muzhi didn't answer his words.
After Lin Yixian hesitated for a moment, he asked slightly tentatively, "Do we want to follow up?"
Shen Muzhi nodded, and then as if explaining, he suddenly said: "Those three dragon blood grasses are still in their hands, if they die, we won't be able to get them." ”
When Lin Yixian heard this, he paused slightly, glanced at Shen Mu without a trace, and then pretended to be casual and agreed: "You're right! As soon as the words fell, he took the lead and floated into the stone forest.
Shen Muzhi followed.
As soon as the two of them entered the stone forest, they could feel a mysterious power around them. However, this force is not very strong and has little effect on them.
However, it also confirms that this stone forest is indeed a natural maze. It's just that the power of this natural maze is very weak, and for ordinary people, it can indeed make people lose themselves, but for monks, it has little impact, especially for monks above the middle realm, it is basically like a fictitious. However, there is another great feature of the Natural Maze, that is, with a slight change, it can make it more powerful.
This was also the reason why Lin Yixian was worried that those Zhengyang Sect monks would be in danger just now.
Under the instruction of that mysterious man, this series of operations of the demon beast was clearly intended to lure those Zhengyang Sect disciples into this stone forest. But if this stone forest only has this bit of power, why should he bother to think so much about luring those Zhengyang Sect disciples out of the city to shoot directly. Therefore, there must still be some traps hidden in this stone forest, just waiting for the Zhengyang faction to jump into it by themselves.
Sure enough, not long after Shen Muzhi and the others entered the stone forest, the ground suddenly shook violently, and then, a powerful force quietly emerged from the depths of the stone forest.
"Not good!" Lin Yixian's expression changed, and after glancing at Shen Muzhi, he immediately accelerated and rushed towards the place where the force appeared.
Deep in the Stone Forest.
Originally, those stones of different sizes and shapes were here, but when they arrived, these stones seemed to have been specially polished, and they all showed the appearance of stone swords.
A stone sword, more than a zhang high, the blade of the sword is upside down on the ground, and the blade is facing the sky.
If someone looked down from mid-air at this time, they would definitely be able to see that these stone swords formed a large circle. Circle after circle, there are no less than ten floors in total.
In the center, there is a flat field. On the flat ground, at this time, there was a figure shrouded in a cloak.
And with the shaking of the ground just now, the handles of these stone swords actually shook one after another, and the stone chips on them fell in a row, and faintly, the sound of swords came from it.
Fierce auras were born from these huge stone swords one after another, swirling in this stone sword forest.
The five people of the Zhengyang Sect before, the three who rushed to the front didn't notice it for a while, and rushed into this stone sword forest at once. By the time he reacted, he had already passed the third circle of stone swords. The three of them leaned close together, staring vigilantly at the strange stone swords around them, feeling the fierce aura that gradually grew on those stone swords, and their faces became grim.
And because Senior Sister Lin and the man in ink were one step slower and cautious, they just stopped outside this stone sword forest.
"Senior Sister Lin, can you recognize what kind of formation this is?" Outside the stone sword forest, the man in ink stared at the stone sword forest for a while, but he didn't see any doorway, so he had no choice but to turn his head and ask for help from the sword-eyed woman beside him.
However, this time, this Senior Sister Lin did not give any useful answers.
At this time, Pang Ziqi, who was in the stone sword forest, was in an anxious mood, and he couldn't bear it, and on impulse, Edgeworth stabbed at a stone sword beside him.
Unexpectedly, before his flying sword approached, a snow-white sword light appeared out of thin air in the air, directly colliding with his flying sword. There was a crisp sound on the ground, and in the midst of the sword light, Pang Ziqi's flying sword almost lost control, and it was not easy to stabilize. And Pang Ziqi was also slightly injured because of this, his qi and blood were shaken.
After suffering a small loss, his face was slightly pale.
Seeing this, the person next to him hurriedly reached out to support him.
Outside the forest, when the man in ink saw this scene, his heart became more and more anxious, and while shouting for the three people inside to stand in place and not move, he was ready to start testing this strange stone sword array.
It's just that just as he was about to explore the formation, there was a sudden sound of rustling in the stone forest behind him.
As soon as Senior Sister Lin turned around, she saw a huge boulder not far away, and a huge black shadow suddenly jumped out, rushing straight towards the two of them.
It was the demon beast that killed people before.
"Senior Brother Su, be careful!" After Senior Sister Lin snorted softly, the fiery red sword light instantly lit up and rose violently.
When Senior Brother Su, who was dressed in ink, heard the shout and looked back to see the black shadow, he didn't hesitate to catch up with the sword.
But this demon beast had no intention of entanglement with them, and after a little hand fighting, the demon beast seemed to feel that he had no chance of winning, so he did not hesitate, turned his head and plunged into the stone sword forest, and went straight to the three people who stood in the third circle and did not dare to move.
When the man in ink saw it, he immediately became anxious. After a little hesitation, he ordered Senior Sister Lin to wait outside the forest, and he followed in.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the formation, around this stone sword forest, suddenly a strong wind rose from the ground, flying sand and stones, and in an instant, it had covered the sky and the sun, covering the stone sword forest at all.
Senior Sister Lin was anxious, but in this case, she didn't dare to break in directly. Unexpectedly, just as she hesitated, there was movement behind her.
When she turned her head, it was still the same boulder from before, and a huge black shadow of the same size flashed out from behind her, and rushed straight at her.
There are actually two demon beasts?
